I have looked/searched and all that and can not find what seems to be a easy thing to do but I seem to have the dumb today...

 

1: How can I find out what is running on my BB STORM 1 w/ the latest OS ( 5. ???) (updated yesterday)?

 

2: How can I turn off what I dont want running.?

 

3: What HAS to be running for just phone and messages?

 

I dont do IMs or texting or any of that stuff on regular basis, Can that stuff be turned off then maybe 1 day a week turned back on?

 

Because I have the dumb, please be clear on instructions.........

Hold the menu button down and a row of icons will appear on screen.  The ones you can't turn off are Phone,Browser,Messages, and Home.  If there are any others there that app is running.  To close click on icon then hit menu button and select close.

 

Instant messenger programs if installed can be deleted in the options and applications section but not their icons, hide them.  Text messaging is based on your plan.  You can hide the SMS and MMS icon also if you wish.
